CURRENT MISSION

Go outside and play.

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy people. I love the chance to share a knowing smile or a difficult story. I enjoy adventure of most sorts and find myself seeking it out everywhere I go. I love to hike, climb, skydive, sail, snowboard, and just be outside.

I try to live my life conscious of those around me and not being afraid of going after my dreams. They can sometime catch me off guard and have taken a great commitment to fulfill. That said, at the end of it all I am a happy and healthy dude, and better for it.

I travel to see all that the world has to offer and hopefully learn more about myself and others in the process.

PHILOSOPHY

To live a balanced, joyful life, immersed in community, sharing wisdom, and charged by adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CouchSurfing just after I sold nearly all my belongings, and started to travel around the word. So far I have only surfed, yet look forward to the day that I have a space for myself to host.

I participate by trying to be open minded and learning from other peoples experiences. I started traveling in the first place to learn about other cultures and the way others find value in their life. I love people, and love to share wisdom.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but great experiences with CouchSurfing. I have been hosted by wonderful people, and have exchanged many messages with people always willing to help along the way. I am thankful for all those who take the time to make CouchSurfing more than simply cheap accomodation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Novels! For Sure. Classic ones like Crime and Punishnent or Grapes of Wrath. Recently I found myself crying on a train in UK while reading The Time Travelers Wife (an embarassingly romantic novel). I just finished Shantaram on my way to India myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a parachute and completed over 100 skydives.

Bought a cheap car in Spain so I could run with the bulls in Pamplona.

Bought a 1 way ticket to London after selling everything without making a plan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Life is too short to trust nobody. You can get hurt, but vulnerability also means opportunity. Oh yeah, and Dr. Bronner's soap. Use it. It's the best.

Learn: What does it mean to have a successful life?

Share: Love. Sometimes all you need in life is for someone to sharing a knowing smile, one where you feel understood and connected. Sometimes all you need is a hug from someone who can understand.
